NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) likes Kyler Murray…on the ground Sunday:
“This is a hard game to decipher which side you want to take, but I’m going to go to a player prop. Kyler Murray OVER 34.5 rushing yards. He got this on the Cardinals’ first drive in the last game they played, and I actually think with the Commanders stinky secondary, they try to overcompensate the big passing lanes, and in so doing, they create rushing lanes for the Murray.”
